Sleaford Mods

Megaton! No war, no death!
Punk 50, is AB’s celebration of fifty years of chaos, freedom and bold expression. We honour the rich past, the vibrant present and the future of punk with exhibitions, films, talks, a ‘zine market and a hard-hitting line-up of international icons, Belgian legends and the new generation of punk musicians.

The duo formed by Jason Williamson (vocals) and Andrew Fearn (beats) got their start in the pubs of Nottingham with straightforward lyrics set to cobbled-together compositions. Today, the two stalwarts are selling out venues all over Europe. With their blend of minimalist electro and sharp social criticism, they remain one of the UK's most unique bands.

This month, Sleaford Mods make an explosive comeback with their new single 'Megaton'. Driven by solid beats and immersive electro sounds, the track delivers a razor-sharp flow that mercilessly pokes fun at cultural mediocrity. Blending groove and intelligence, Jason Williamson and Andrew Fearn hit hard with this first release since their 'UK GRIM' album (2023), making you think and dance at the same time.
We should be aligned with one another but instead we are crippled by social media and the resulting separatism: Genocide... swipe... gym bods... swipe... food pics... swipe... starvation. Killing upon killing, so much terrible, horrifying information followed by a cat meme followed by faces filtered beyond recognition. - Jason Williamson
Rendezvous for an explosive evening of hard-hitting tracks, sharp lyrics and a healthy dose of raw energy!
